Welcome back to another episode of Dumping Them Out.
I would go way more often if it wasn’t nearly $200 just to get in the door.
MSG is a great place to watch a basketball game.
I feel like lots of people may have heard this one already.
I’m clearly not the first person on the internet to bring it up.
It regards the Disney Pixar classic, Toy Story.
Toy Story paints Sid as a villain.
He tortures toys and is mean to his sister.
But kids like Andy are a dime-a-dozen.
The Sid’s of the world are the kids who deserve to be celebrated.
Sid is a child who is dripping with creativity.
Sid looks at a toy and wonders what it could become.
Best case scenario, the PEZ dispenser is displayed on a shelf for the next few years.
But Sid gives his PEZ dispensers a greater purpose.
Sid is vilified for his treatment of his little sister Hannah.
But name me one 11-year old boy who isn’t occasionally mean to his younger sister.
That’s exceedingly normal behavior.
I would be more concerned to learn of an 11-year old who never quarrels with his annoying younger sibling.
He’s also an exceptional owner to his dog Scud.
Toy Story shows Sid feeding toys to Scud, and wants us to think, “Oh the humanity!
What a monster!”.
And have we even considered what Sid’s home life must be like?
His parents are hardly present in the movie.
We’re led to believe he spends a significant amount of time on his own.
Which for one, is sad.
Sid is likely acting out due to a lack of friend.
Sid is a misunderstood genius who Disney shames for being different.
That scene sends an extremely fucked up message.
If you dare use your imagination and create something different, your toys will NOT be happy.
They will come to life and give a shot to kill you.
Which will cause a mental breakdown that you will never recover from.
Sid was almost certainly on track to have an incredible career in the field engineering.
He could have been a man of science.
He probably would have ended up working for NASA.
But in Toy Story 3, we see that Sid has grown up to be a lowly garbage man.
They can’t afford for kids to find ways to entertain themselves on their own.
It’s all very obvious when you think about.
It’s been a while since we’ve canceled a Disney movie.
They probably think they’re in the clear since they quit making their cats Chinese.
They’ll never see this one coming.
